if you are an aspiring photographer or journalist, or you're simply intrigued as i was about the details concerning this case...you should review this column from The Washington Post

if you haven't found what you're looking for, you might not be looking in the right place. my sounds tell stories that words can't possibly depict. my music is a book you choose not to open, spine damaged & on your shelf gathering dust. if you truly wish to know my thoughts, you must allow yourself to journey through my music. this music is not a maze nor would i design it to be one. it instrumentally articulates all my personal expressions with a sonorous elucidation, which can not be properly represented through conversation. if you are compelled yet disinclined, you are floating irresolutely away from illumination.
seek out what you wish to detect.
to listen is to try to hear; to hear is simply to perceive with the ear...

Are YOU having difficulty swallowing this subversive swine-flu propaganda?
You are not alone, despite the perpetually-programmed, fear-mongering, mainstream-media brainwashing. Read between the lines. Ulterior motives.
As any accurately informed human should understand by now: television, newspapers, magazines, and virtually any form of media outlet that proclaims any specific stance on any topic, must be subject to routine evaluation before endorsement. In other words, ask yourself why media sources used the picture they ended up using for the story. Are they trying to convince you of something? What? Why? Government puppets throughout history have strategically elaborated about issues, nationally broadcasted, as subterfuge for its citizens who would casually bestow subconscious consideration or even approbation of their deceptions.
Investigate everything and do your own research.
Educate and inform yourself about influenza strains. Educate, awaken and alert yourself and all others to the government-sanctioned malpractice of fusing adjuvants like squalene, thimerosal (mercury), aluminum and other toxic preservatives in vaccines and all other forms of immunology.
The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines.
The adjuvant: squalene.
Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.
The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.
Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.
Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene. MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating auto-immune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.
The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP).
However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of the AVIP product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing squalene.
A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February 2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathology included these stunning statistics:
“ … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene.
In contrast, none of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with idiopathic auto-immune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum antibodies to squalene.”
According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia:
“… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War Syndrome," documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.
The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”
Aluminum hydroxide, used in many vaccines, including hepatitis A and B, and the Pentacel cocktail for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and meningitis, has been clearly linked to symptoms associated with Parkinson's, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and Alzheimer's.

Any form of government (even democracy), when most of the people are unhappy with the administration of that government, will eventually fail...
exert your mind! therein rests the transition from imagination to reality.
thinking of voting for a representative of the oligarchy? please advise yourself...
Myspace is NOT allowing me to directly link this page with my page, think about that for a minute. why would they refuse to support a link to the following URL?

i am the director of the binford/rogers & instructor @ the university elementary school chess programs. i balance it all by teaching private lessons as an inadvertantly neglectful music tutor, making music with local musicians and a number of eccentric bands in different spectrums throughout the genre plane, and not drinking nearly enough milk...
it's interesting and at times infuriatingly condemnable...not to mention revolting, discouraging & disappointing to observe the way some people act on their beliefs. for instance, why do our police officers who pledge safety and servitude, only end up serving crippling carnage to peaceful protesters? in case you didn't know, this has been recurring for centuries. shouldn't every police outfit/agency/entity operate under an unconditional code that specifically protects the people? maybe they should...it does NOT take much to change the world.
those who struggle to change the world for the better, simply don't fizzle and quit when met with resistance. police brutality involving a peaceful protester, is very deplorable. she plays drums and led the peaceful protest march with her drumsticks. i don't think the officers were threatened to the point, where they had to dislocate her leg out of self-defense. history shows us we must not repeat it. the need now for an emergency administration of reparations, compassion and understanding...is the only option effectual enough to consider effective, living in our world today. if you don't feel it, i want you to follow the light with your eyes. don't succumb to the 'coma' in complacence.
create the world you want and live loud.
the improvisation of music is an exposition in itself...
i've learned the listening of music is A LOT to ask of someone (even when it's a gift), but, that's the whole idea.
ambivalence IS the adventure.
i'm not the type of person to extort interest or intrigue where there is none. i wish you would listen to music, volitionally; i.e. taking 10 seconds to REALLY look @ a painting. if you don't like it, that's that. however, listening to music, doesn't even require that much attention.
if only my feelings would fade to nothing, i could be perfect like you.
silence embraces captivity. for example, "you have the right to remain silent." zugzwang. i will sing for those i've shed tears for.
uncontrollable proximity vicariousness & pensive harmonic instrumental polyphonic wanderlust from thinking about a missing someone...
you don't hear what you choose not to & you choose not to hear what you haven't heard...
